ALBANY — Jersey Boys, the journey of the Four Seasons’ rise and fall through the eyes of a group of friends, who became the icons of their generation, will open at Capital Repertory Theatre for previews Friday, July 15. The production will run through Sunday, Aug. 21. The show is written by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and directed by Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill, Producing Artistic Director at theREP.
Starting in New Jersey, Jersey Boys tells the story of the famous Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. It’s an inspirational story of how four blue-collar boys from New Jersey became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They invented new sounds, with the help of Valli’s original-sounding voice, and sold an estimated 175 million records worldwide all before they were thirty.
